Chris: You have to contact up.Me: Contact who?C: Contact up. They need to know you're here.M: What do they need to know? I live here!C: That's true. It's not like a contract or anything.M: I should hope not. Are you contracting me out to be your wife?C: Hmm..I think that can be arranged.M: [laughs] Who would I be reporting to?C: Who do you want to report to?M: I don't know. You're the one telling me I have to contact up.C: That's true. Why don't you report to Behfeh (like last time, Behfeh is the cat)M: [laughs] Ok...C: And I guess Behfeh has a dotted line to the CEO of Whirlpool.M: [laughs] Ok.C: And then, uh...I don't know. I'll have to ask Behfeh where the rest of the organization is.M: Ok. Is there anything else I need to do?C: You mean as far as reporting is concerned?M: Yeah.C: No, I think that should cover all our bases.M: Ok. Do I have to draw up a report?C: [starting to sound very sleepy] Could you do that?M: Ok, how long would you like it to be?C: Nothing too fancy, just a page or two should do.M: And what should it say?C: Oh, just make it the standard report.M: I don't know what the standard is. I'm new.C: Oh. Um, I'll forward you an example.M: [laughs] Ok. So, who wrote this example? Like, was it you or someone else?C: I wrote it.M: Oh, so I didn't have a predecessor?C: No.M: That's good to know. Well, alright. I'll get to work on that.C: What?M: I'll get to work on it.C: Oh.

So it appears reading has helped a bit! The first few nights of reading didn't seem to be doing much for his night talking, but then one night he bit me a few times (lightly!...though that's still pretty weird. Ooh, or! Maybe I have my very own Edward!) and the next night, he talked:

Chris: [sits up, points fingers like a gun at nothing] Hey, Behfeh. [looks down at cat] (Behfeh is how he sometimes pronounces our cat Buffy's name)M:What are you doing?C: I wonder if there's a capacitance charge or not.M: What? Capacitance?C: If there's a charge.M: Charge in what though? Is that a gun?C: Well, we'll have to see. If there's no charge, no.M: Who are you aiming at?C: ...M: Cripper?C: [looks around, looks at me, then flops back down and covers head with sheet] Don't wake me!M: But were you going to shoot Buffy?C: No, I'd never do that to Beefy.

Chris: Who has the power to decide who's playing?Me: You do.C: How?M: Just push the button.C: Which one?M: The red one.C: But there are many buttons.M: Just push the red one.C: There must be millions of people playing. How do I have the power to choose?M: You're the only one playing now.C: There's 13 million people playing. Statistically I'm not unique.M: Sure you are.C: If I were to pick my nose right now and do a survey, I would not be unique.M: What if you picked your nose and screamed "I like to eat eagles!"C: Are you accusing me of being asleep?M: [laughs] Yes.C: I'm totally conscious on this one. (Where have I heard thatbefore?)M: [laughs]
